Abstract: Methods and devices related to the enhancement the light absorbance characteristics of an optoelectronic device are provided. A method can comprise providing a CoO-ATO sol-gel solution to coat on a silicon substrate. Carbon can be sputtered onto the silicon substrate, and the CoO-ATO sol-gel solution can be deposited on a surface of the carbon deposited silicon substrate. The deposition of the solution can be by spin coating to achieve a uniform thickness of the solution on the surface of the carbon deposited substrate.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an implantable biosensor includes a sense antenna comprising a silicon carbide substrate and a radiating electrode formed on the substrate.

Abstract: A dog harness is comprised of a torso strap encircling a dog's chest, connected to a chest strap passing around the chest of a dog, and a shoulder strap passing over the back of a dog. The chest strap is provided with a elongate linker. A leash connector is fixed to both ends of the elongate linker. When a leash is attached to either leash connector, a directional pull on the leash causes the leash connector to slide in the direction of the pull, pulling the elongate linker to the side creating a noise detectable by the animal to assist in the training of the animal. If the leash becomes tight pulling the elongate linker all the way to the side it will move the pull off the center of the dog's chest, thus decreasing the opposition reflex.

Abstract: An improved hospital garment is disclosed for use by a patient. The garment may be a shirt-like portion having a placket to permit the shirt-like portion to be donned and doffed in the manner of a robe, and defining a neck opening through which the neck of the patient extends when the shirt-like portion is operatively disposed on the patient. The garment may include sleeves through which the arms of the patient extend when the shirt-like portion is operatively disposed on the patient. Each sleeve may be defined by a piece of fabric and may have a hook and loop fastener secured thereto. On each sleeve, the fabric piece, when the shirt-like portion is operatively disposed upon the patient and the patient is upright, overlaps upon and may be secured by the hook and loop fastener to itself upon the shoulder of the patient. This fastener may be releasable to permit the shirt-like portion to be parted along each sleeve to the neck opening to provide ready access to the upper torso of the patient.
